Import Tips

Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification under cotton headings; blends may shift to man-made fiber subheadings

Include detailed invoices specifying 'recreational performance outerwear' to avoid reclassification as ordinary trousers under 6203.42.40

Label garments with fiber content, care instructions, and country of origin per CBP requirements to prevent delays at entry
